What do I have to do to make this > disappear? To answer this question seriously... Do you want to use the open source driver xf86-video-ati or the closed source driver catalyst? Do you have 32 bit software installed on your x86_64 system? I guess yes, considering that you have lib32-libgl installed. Regarding the first question: You can't have installed both xf86-video-ati and catalyst at the same time. If you're using xf86-video-ati you need libgl and lib32-libgl for 32 bit software. Then you need to uninstall catalyst-utils and lib32-catalyst-utils. If you're using catalyst then you need to uninstall libgl and lib32-libgl and to install catalyst-utils and lib32-catalyst-utils, because catalyst-utils provides libgl. So you most likely are asked for replacing lib32-libgl with lib32-catalyst-utils, because you're using catalyst. So you definitely need to say yes to this question. Only say no to it if you want to use xf86-video-ati. But then I would suggest to uninstall every video driver and related package (xf86-video-ati, libgl, ati-dri, mesa, lib32-libgl, catalyst, catalyst-utils and lib32-catalyst-utils) and to freshly install the video driver of your choice (either xf86-video-ati or catalyst).
